I loved Christy's card "Care Bears Inspired". I did not know her technique that she used, but worked on masking the image last night. What a laugh -- couldn't do it. I tried again this a.m. with inking only the area I wanted to stamp. Thank goodness for the Stamp-a-ma-jig. That seemed to work.
Changes: I changed the color of pink and green. I used a punch (Martha Stewart) to make a stencil to sponge butterflies. I used CB embossing folder and inked it to imitate her background. I used CB and paper to imitate the ribbon. I also added brads, just in case the adhesive decided to fail me.
I did make about 6 different sentiments for this card, in case I didn't want a "thank you" when I send it. (I do this often).
I don't know how other people judge the difficulty. I judge it by whether or not I would teach this to my class of beginners.

Your card looks beautiful! I think I just used markers to ink up the part of the stamp I wanted to use when I made my card. Love how you did the stenciled butterflies, they're awesome!! Great job on this and thanks so much for playing!
